26. Getting Started UTA Upward Bound Objective Steps to Success

27. TRIO@Work: Technology for Global Learning 27 Integrating Technology into Program Objectives OBJECTIVE: Provide mentoring activities during the academic year component that will improve the participant’s self-concept, motivational level, and awareness of educational and career opportunities. Relationship to Purpose: Since many of the participants are not aware of educational and career opportunities, it is our goal to expose them to various opportunities that will not only allow the participants to see themselves in their aspiring career, but to also improve their self- concept and motivational skills. Major Activity: Mentor program (Special Clubs) will meet once every month during the year. Volunteers from the campus community will serve as role models/mentors to groups of 5-10 participants, according to the participants’ need. Personnel Responsible: Counselor

28. TRIO@Work: Technology for Global Learning 28 Integrating Technology into Program Objectives (cont’d) Essential Resources: IEP’s, Volunteers, Computer and access, email address Time Schedule: Ongoing Evaluation: Contact Forms from the mentors, IEP’s, assessment forms from participants Expected Outcome: Students will be exposed to role models within the university community who will nurture and support the participant’s growth in their area of interest Description of E-Pals (Binder) Description of eMentoring Activity (Binder)

29. TRIO@Work: Technology for Global Learning 29 Plan n Develop a technology integration plan –Contributes to program objectives –Promotes active learning for students –Get computers into the hands of students –Reflects your vision for your program

30. TRIO@Work: Technology for Global Learning 30 Personnel n Build your knowledge base –Directors “own” and “share” the vision –acquire the knowledge yourself or secure a resource person with the knowledge (could be a TRIO client/student) “technical” technology skills “learning” technology skills

31. TRIO@Work: Technology for Global Learning 31 Partner n Leverage local resources (find partners) –Associated institutions may provide Space for labs Fully equipped labs Internet/e-mail accounts for students Technical support for equipment Technology training for staff Matching funds for any grant money received
